After leaving the Evil Spirit impersonated by a player, Tang Xiaoling continued feeling her way deeper inside.
After she had walked about ten meters, the ghostly hands covering her eyes suddenly vanished!
A dark green glow abruptly appeared before Tang Xiaoling's eyes.
Although it was still very dim, she could finally make out her surroundings.
The first thing she saw was a narrow, poorly lit corridor.
Portraits of all kinds of people hung haphazardly on the walls on either side.
Blood stained the black-and-white checkered floor tiles.
The already narrow corridor was also piled high with old junk.
At a glance, it looked dilapidated and terribly cramped.
Looking at the gloomy, sinister corridor, Tang Xiaoling felt a little scared.
She wanted to keep going, but couldn't muster the courage.
Just then, Tiantian suddenly crawled out of a cardboard box.
It gave Tang Xiaoling a soft call, then turned to leave again.
It looked as though it was telling its little owner to follow.
"Tiantian!"
Seeing Tiantian about to leave again, Tang Xiaoling called out anxiously.
But just as she was about to move forward, she forced herself to stop.
She had heard footsteps coming from the deserted corridor.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Every footfall sounded heavy and muffled!
The sound made one's hair stand on end and scalp prickle.
But standing at the very end, Tang Xiaoling didn't notice what was happening.
As the footsteps drew closer, the figures in the portraits on the walls began to smile eerily.
Some even twisted their heads and kept craning outward, as if they were about to crawl out of their frames!
Just then, at the other end of the corridor, Tiantian's pupils suddenly narrowed into slits, its eyes gleaming fiercely.
Seeing those restless Evil Spirits, it immediately let out a low growl!
In the next instant, everything fell silent!
The footsteps in the corridor vanished instantly, and all the figures in the portraits returned to normal.
Yet Tiantian still seemed dissatisfied.
It immediately raised its left paw high and slammed it down!
A flash of white light appeared, then vanished in an instant.
The figure inside the nearest portrait suddenly dissipated!
Seeing this, the Evil Spirits in the other portraits all looked horrified.
Lord Sky Dog was far too brutal!
It killed spirits at the slightest provocation!
But they had no time to be afraid.
They all sprang into action, abandoning their terrifying appearances and using colored pens to draw themselves as angels.
The junk in the corridor transformed into adorable plush toys.
The bloodstains on the floor vanished instantly, becoming blooming roses!
At some point, the dark green light had also turned into dazzling golden light, bathing the entire corridor in splendor!
At a glance, there wasn't a trace of its sinister horror left. It looked like a golden passage leading to a sacred temple!
Tang Xiaoling was instantly captivated by the scene before her and couldn't help exclaiming:
"Wow! It's so pretty!"
All the fear she had felt earlier vanished.
Especially when she saw the plush toys, she couldn't resist wanting to go over and play with them.
But just as she was about to approach, she suddenly heard those terrifying footsteps again.
A flicker of fear passed through her large, bright eyes.
Just then, cheerful music suddenly rang out in the corridor.
Then a thin dancer in a black suit appeared before her.
With his hands on his hips, he tapped his feet against the floor with nimble, rhythmic movements.
Every so often, he made a comical face, sending Tang Xiaoling into peals of laughter.
"I know, I know! That's Tap Dance! Lingling saw it on TV!"
Tang Xiaoling bounced excitedly, clapping her little hands over and over.
"That was amazing! Mister, you're so good!"
Hearing Tang Xiaoling's praise, the dancer put even more effort into his performance, changing from one comical expression to another.
Inside, however, he was bitterly lamenting his fate.
Oh, little ancestor!
Please, just hurry on through!
I've practically stomped my feet numb!
I'm a mighty Plague Ghost! Who knows how many people I've scared to death with the sounds of these feet!
And now Lord Sky Dog is forcing me to perform a Tap Dance!
Oh, for heaven's sake, this is absolute torture!
But even though the Plague Ghost had nearly stomped his feet numb, he didn't dare pause for even a moment.
If he kept dancing, the worst that could happen was losing the use of both feet.
But if he dared stop, his entire ghostly existence would truly come to an end!
Fortunately, once her excitement subsided, Tang Xiaoling turned her attention back to the plush toys.
She immediately jogged into the corridor, heading toward the toys.
But the moment she entered, countless petals scattered from the picture frames.
Not only were they brilliantly colorful, but their floral fragrance filled the air.
Delight spread across Tang Xiaoling's face. She immediately tilted her little head up and greedily breathed in the air.
"They smell so good!"
"Thank you!"
The little girl gave the little angels in the portraits a sweet smile.
Seeing that she liked it, the Evil Spirits disguised as angels scattered flowers even more enthusiastically.
In mere moments, the corridor floor became a sea of flowers!
Tang Xiaoling bent down and scooped up the petals from the floor, brought them close to her nose for a sniff, then tossed them high into the air.
She even spun in place to the cheerful music, like a happy little princess.
Seeing this, the Plague Ghost nearly burst into tears.
He was still performing his Tap Dance!
Yet these damned colleagues of his had scattered so many petals.
Several times in a row, he nearly slipped as his feet struck the floor.
Most infuriating of all, with more and more petals covering the floor, he could no longer make any sound with his steps!
If that angered Lord Sky Dog, it really would be curtains for him-complete with a shower of petals!
Meanwhile.
Everyone in the livestream chat was utterly dumbfounded.
Saying their brains had grown still wasn't enough to describe their current state.
It would be more accurate to say they'd lost their brains entirely!
Wait, this was the haunted house's fucking Bloodstained Corridor?
It was practically prettier than a gilded corridor in a royal palace!
What was this, a reception for a princess?
Angels, petals-they'd even put on a little show!
Evil Spirits pretending to be angels. You'd really fucking outdone yourselves!
"@Eerie Knowledge Explainer, come on, expert, explain this to me. What the fuck does 'a surprise' mean?!"
"A surprise means Tang Xiaoling being welcomed like a princess while passing through the haunted house's famous Bloodstained Corridor!"
"Oh... so that's what a fucking surprise means! I'm fucking depressed now!"
"I'm screwed, I'm screwed! Why do I feel like my fifty spirit coins are going down the drain?!"
"Person above, have some confidence. If this keeps up, you're definitely going to lose every last coin!"
"Seriously, if all Instances were like this, I could do it too!"
The livestream viewers had completely lost their minds.
Most importantly, it wasn't the Evil Spirits who had driven them mad, but a four-year-old little girl!
But some viewers who remained calm had begun to notice a few clues.
They felt that Tang Xiaoling wasn't being raised like some venomous creature, as "Eerie Knowledge Explainer" had claimed.
The only reason she had remained unharmed all this time was that those Evil Spirits were afraid of this little girl!!!
